Violin Concerto

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Columbia Symphony Orchestra & Zino Francescatti & Bruno Walter

The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 is a violin concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806. Rooted in the Classical concerto tradition but expanding its scale and orchestral role, the work features broad lyrical themes, substantial cadenzas and technically demanding solo writing that reflect Beethoven's middle-period move towards larger formal structures and greater expressive range.
First released: 1961
